Kiss Jinny Johnson
Oh Miss Jinny Johnson is de sweetest girl in town
She wears a Quaker bonnet and a checked gingham gown
Her face is alluz smilin' an' she never wears a frown
Hi Jinny, ho Jinny Johnson.
When Miss Jinny dances she's de lightes' in de ring
She make you think o' daffodils a-swayin' in de spring
An' ever' move she make is like a throstle on de wing.
Hi Jinny, ho Jinny Johnson .
Refrain: Hi Jinny, ho Jinny come along with me
Hi Jinny, ho Jinny, Hi Miss Jinny Johnson
Sweeter dan de honey in de honeysuckle tree
Hi Jinny, ho Jinny Johnson.
When she start to singin in de evenin' after dark
De mammies stop to listen and dey make deir chillen hark
Her voice sound exactly like de l i t t l e meadow lark.
Hi Jinny, ho Jinny Johnson.
Somethin' gotta catch her when she dances on de green
A smilin' a l l her sweetes' smiles an' singin' in between
An' take her to de fores' for to be a fairy queen.
Hi Jinny, ho Jinny Johnson.
